Single polymer dynamics: coil-stretch transition in a random flow

Chaotic Dynamics 2009-11-10 v1

Abstract

By quantitative studies of statistics of polymer stretching in a random flow and of a flow field we demonstrate that the stretching of polymer molecules in a 3D random flow occurs rather sharply via the coil-stretch transition at the value of the criterion close to theoretically predicted.
